Hi Diane, i just read your post on the message board and wanted to wish you well.My surgery took 2 and a half hours, but to me it seemed like 5 minutes from the time I went to sleep until I awoke. My first 2 days were really rough and painful, but once I started getting out of that bed I felt better everyday. Everyone at the hospital were so nice and helpful. Dr. Gonzales did a beautiful job with the incision and I only have a very thin scar when it fully healed.
****You will do just fine. Here is my wls prayer poem,I post it for everyone crossing over.. receive it as your own...
***Great God is with you***
**psalms 91**
How great is the Lord!!
Praise him,
he is with you all your days.
His blood will cover you
and he will keep you in all your ways.
As you walk through the valley
he is there.
As you cross over to the otherside
he will share.
For he orders his angels to protect you
wherever you may be.
He holds your future in HIS hands,
and tomorrow his power you will see!
His angels will be a fence
of protection around you.
God is holding your hand
and seeing you through.
Rest tonight
in perfect peace of mind.
For HE holds the surgeon's hand
steady and divine.
God himself will shield you
with his wings so blessed.
Do not be afraid, for his faithful promises
are your armor and protection ,
and he will give you rest.
So rejoice in him
and take your short walk to the otherside.
For you dwell in the safety of The Almighty
and under his wings you SHALL abide!
